Route 211 in Pokémon Platinum
Route 211

Route 211 is split in two by Mt. Coronet. The western half is a short path from Eterna City to the mountain, and the eastern half leads down from Mt. Coronet to Celestic Town. The east side has much stronger wild Pokémon and Trainers, and a man psyching himself up on the east side gives you TM77 Psych Up.
